I'm currently reading this, and based on another anon's advice I read the Duino Elegies, The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot (along with several of his other poems) and Faust by Goethe. All of these have really enriched my reading experience-I'm really loving this book.

It's a bit harder to follow than GR, albeit less surreal (most of the time) but is on-key with Ulysses.

R is better than GR.

I'm thinking of listening to this on audibook. To you guys think it would translate well?
